Not to lighten the mood or anything, but the Blues are looking a good chance to knock GWS off which might keep us in the 8. ?

    GWS tanking?

    Some very radical crazy moves by their coach with both Finlayson & Cameron playing in defence and they were already behind on the scoreboard so no, they aren't protecting a lead and there was more than a quarter to go.

    We were fined half a mil for not tanking. Year in year out there's a scramble for the wooden spoon. Where's everyone else's fines?

    Blues find all sorts of ways to choke games.

    Regardless of the implications of a GWS win, I'll never get sick of watching Carlton lose.  Eases the pain of today ever so slightly.

    That's really cost us. Giants have Adelaide, Melbourne and St Kilda.

    Can't see us making it now. Today just shot ourselves in the foot big time.

    Horrendously bad choke from carlton

    GWS went from 2 goals 11 behinds to 6 goals 12 behinds in that last quarter - 200% more goals in the last quarter

    GWS did us a favor 

    Hopefully they can stay in.

    Will spare us the embarrassment, and begin the process of a serious review and a clean out of the chaff.

    As usual the script of failure continues to get written by our club... other clubs take their opportunities we roll over... not sure what more motivation is needed for this group of players anymore.  Simple we need to beat Freo, Gws & Bombers & based on tonites form we want beat any of them

    I am glad GW$ won. 
    We deserve to fall out of the 8 on tonight performance 

    Now we will see whether there is any pride in the place

    If we don’t make it heads must roll

    If what you say is true, and I do not dispute it.

    then there is a clear responsibility on the football department and selectors to get the side fit, mentally right, energised, and ready to play.   And not to play against a side that have had far longer Time to relax and prepare in place. Arguments should have been had with the AFL over this totally unfair or even playing field. 
     

    out coached and out thought. Again. 
    let alone playing a quarter and not scoring a goal!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
